New Features for FAST-TCF version 11.0
Version 11 of T/HIS contains the following new FAST-TCF commands
- Support for DISBOUT data component
- Support for PLLYOUT data components
- "style_m" command for setting curve styles by model
New Features for FAST-TCF version 10.0
Version 10 of T/HIS contains the following new FAST-TCF commands
- Support for TRHIST data components
- Support for CPM_SENSOR data components
- New wildcard options for specifying curve tags
- Ouputting a range of curves to curve file
New Features for FAST-TCF version 9.4
Version 9.4 of T/HIS contains the following new FAST-TCF commands
- Support for DBFSI data components
- Support for TPRINT data components
- New "plot setup" commands
- New curve style options
New Features for FAST-TCF version 9.3
Because of the multiple graphs and pages available in T/HIS 9.3 additional commands have been added to FAST-TCF 93 to define and position graphs and to generate multiple images containing one or more graphs. Because of these new commands version 9.3 FAST-TCF scripts generated by T/HIS can not be used in previous releases.
- New commands have been added for generating and positioning multiple graphs and pages.
- New commands for generating images containing multiple graphs and pages.
- New variables have been added for accessing the output values of the ERR command.
- New built in variables "$run_nameN", "$run_titleN" and "$run_dirN" for multiple models.
- New built in variable"$FTCF_PATH"
New Features for FAST-TCF version 9.2
FAST-TCF has been extensively revised to include almost all of the T/HIS commands. The improved functionality does mean that old scripts may have to be changed to meet the new standards.
NOTE: FAST-TCF is not 100% compatible with pre-version 9.1 input scripts:
- Variables have changed to allow more flexibility, but the old rule for filenames (word1 + word2) has now been discontinued, filenames must all be one word
- Rigidwall command must now have "n" for the xtf file output (rather than nothing at all)
- Shell and Solid effective strain must have the fourth word "eff" to distinguish them from other types of strain that have been added
- No FAST-TCF defaults for plot setup - defaults are now the T/HIS standard ones
New features since version 9.1:
- Reading of keyword, csv, csv2, and bulk data files, keyboard entry
- Operation commands "order", "cat", "r_ave", "stress", "logx", "logx10", "translate", "vector2D", "window"
- Variables are processed on a line by line basis
- Variables can be defined using curve properties - for example a variable could be set to equal max of a curve, and then used to divide another curve
- Continuation lines added - defined using a "\" at the very end of a line
- Tabulation commands "yatmax" and "yatmin" added for Y values at maximum and minimum X
- All extraction commands are supported: Boundary, Geo contacts, FSI, Joints, SPH, Thick shells and so on
- All the missing components for previous data types are now supported
- Multiple data extraction on one line e.g. "node 100:last acc X"
- Multiple generic tagging and labeling of output curves using wildcard "*"
- Multiple curves can be operated upon in one line e.g. "oper ADD acc_* 10.0"
- Multiple curves can be plotted using wildcards "*" in tag names
- Integration point output can be changed
- Multiple models supported
- Extended plotting syntax for setting up plot defaults (grid colours, offsets, fonts and so on)
- "Tabc" command for writing out tabulation data to a csv file
- "plot" and "auto" commands added for use in interactive playback mode
- macro support for running FAST-TCF files on specific curves
